So I don't use Tumblr for posting, but I just felt I had to share these. Here's two rare pictures of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz on set for The Mummy 1999!

I recently watched season 1 of the Mummy Animated Series and...I feel they did poor Jonathan DIRTY. It seems like they took every bad trait he has and amped them up while toning his good ones way down. He's my favourite character in the movies so I feel so bad for the poor thing.

I was so invested in the animated series as a kid, but I agree.

If you watch the trailer for the show, the narrator is like, “AND THE CLUELESS UNCLE JONATHAN.”

Like I get it was probably for comedic relief, but here at Bembridge, we’ve talked a lot about Jonathan being portrayed as this flighty gambler when in reality he is someone who cares deeply about his family, and HAS LITERALLY HELPED SAVED THE WORLD MULTIPLE TIMES. He isn’t clueless.

Okay, hot take: the initials for the Bembridge Scholars (not you, obviously!) aren't BS for nothin' 😏

SHOTS FIRED.

We would never reject Evelyn’s application.

How are you guys gonna forget Live's "Forever Might not be long enough!" lmao. I kid. I kid. The song is phenomenal. My most played song on my library always. I'm glad you guys are bringing more attention to it!

I am literally horrified to say that I had no idea it even existed. Like I have 100% watched the credits through in my life time, but I did not remember this.

I just had an entire existential crisis over this song LMAO.

Like omg everyone on Bembridge go jam out to this amazing song.

Hot take: the true Thing We Don't Talk About in the fandom is NOT the third movie - there's tons of "the third movie doesn't exist" and "we don't mention the third movie" - but the song in the end credits of TMR. I have never seen ANYONE mention it, anywhere. It's like it doesn't exist. In fact I've seen TMR dozens of times and I only remember the intro notes, no idea how it goes after that - AND I made a point of listening to it last time. It just won't stay in my head. Spooky shit.

LMAO I JUST WENT IN TO WATCH THE CREDITS AND I WAS LIKE WHAAAAAAAAT?

That completely shook me, I am completely dead.

BUT LOOK WHAT I FOUND THERE’S AN ENTIRE MUMMY MUSIC VIDEO FOR IT WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK LOOOOOOOOL

IT’S A BOP THO?

hot take: all of evie and rick’s problems in tmr could have been avoided if they didn’t make out so much (not saying i’m not here for it tho)

HO HO HO HO HO.

Well, my fine feathered anon, you are likely very correct.

They kiss, Alex ruckuses and takes the bracelet.

They kiss, Alex is kidnapped.

Listen, I LIVE for them. They are my heart and soul. Goals.

But when you decide to reproduce and create Ricochet O’Connell Jr. with the brains of the Great Evelyn Carnahan, you gotta watch him. CAUSE HE’S GONNA RUCKUS.

*slides into ask* Jonathan is my favorite fucking character in the Mummy series, and if Tomb of The Dragon Emperor were actually, you know, -good- I would have been down to ship him and Zi Yuan. (Michelle Yeoh is hot, okay?)

Hey, how ya doin’. Welcome to the Jonathan Power Hour.

LITERALLY every single time I watch The Mummy, at the end when Evie and Rick kiss and Jonathan asks the camel for a kiss, I’m like “this is garbage Jonathan deserves someone to love.”

Michelle Yeoh is phenomenal.

Let me paint you a picture. This is kind of leading from the one hot take I got about Zi Yuan and her daughter being archeological bamfs.

In a better TotDE world, Jonathan is out there killing it from his big ass Oasis diamond. Zi Yuan only knows him by his reputation as a “distinguished” Archaeologist (thank you Evie), and part of the team that stopped the last two apocalypses, apocali? whatever. She seeks him out because of some terracotta mummy trouble. What she doesn’t expect is this scoundrel who APPEARS to care only about his successful casino and the next dollar.

He refuses to help her at first, citing that he had enough mummies in one lifetime, but there’s a chase scene. It’s intense. Jonathan gets roped into the drama AGAIN. Enter Rick and Evie who came to see Alex, and also join the fun. Eventually throughout their time together, Jonathan proves to be a great ally, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to his family. Zi Yuan values the latter part greatly, and the two begin to become close.

It goes down, they take turns saving each other (or mostly Zi Yuan saving him, you know how he is lol), and by the end of the adventure, a romance blooms.

The casino becomes a leading institute for Chinese history and archeological studies, and everyone goes home happy.
